McCain's first Montana TV ads appeared just two weeks ago. There appears to be some kind of rushed response to the tightening at the polls. The Montana state GOP challenged the registration of 6,000 voters in seven predominantly Democratic counties but drew a stern admonition from a federal judge. The Republican executive director lost his job shortly after...
...ashamed that my side, 'the good guys', would rip off his sign," Sadun told TIME in an email. "So I decided to replace it, partly as penance and partly to show him, and the neighborhood, that we really are the good guys." Sadun headed to the downtown GOP office, a quiet, low key operation, and asked for a sign for his neighbor.

Montana: McCain's Late Stand, 10:30 a.m. E.T. Montana has only three electoral votes and has gone GOP in almost every presidential race for the past four decades.

He still hasn't explained to the American people a single thing he would do differently from George Bush when it comes to the economy...
...pundits are already warning that Obama could overreach, that Democratic congressional leaders are still unpopular, that this is still a center-right country. But it wasn't tonight. Obama will have the luxury of taking office at a time when the GOP is the AIG of electoral politics, when his predecessor has set the lowest bar since James Buchanan, when a supposedly conservative Administration just started nationalizing the banking system, when the public is desperate for change. What is it about tonight's results that suggests Obama should be afraid of progressive action on the cusp of a depression...
